TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE |
ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS | PREVENTION | FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING |
| FIRE | Not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. Many reactions may cause fire or explosion. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. | NO contact with combustible substances or reducing agents. | NO powder. Use water in large amounts. |
| EXPLOSION | Risk of fire and explosion on contact with acids, combustible substances or reducing agents. | In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. | |
| EXPOSURE | PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! | ||
| Inhalation | Burning sensation. Sore throat. Wheezing. Laboured breathing. Shortness of breath. | Use local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. Half-upright position. Artificial respiration may be needed. Refer for medical attention. |
| Skin | Redness. Pain. Serious skin burns. Blisters. | Protective gloves. Protective clothing. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. Blurred vision. Severe deep burns. | Wear face shield or eye protection in combination with breathing protection. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal pain. Burning sensation. Shock or collapse. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. | Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Refer for medical attention . |

| NOTES |
|
Rinse contaminated clothes (fire hazard) with plenty of water. The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort. Rest and medical observation is therefore essential. Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered. |
